Actually, the AGX isn't exactly an XGA clone. It works like the XGA, but initialization is an entirely different ballgame. The AGX (The chip the Graphite is based on) is actually a VXE device. XGA drivers will not work on the AGX, but VXE drivers will. VXE is a standard from VESA that defines a method of querying an XGA device to find out where it is mapped and what modes it supports, and how to access those modes.
